Budders Always Pay

I have something noteworthy to write about today, besides my birthday surprises, so I'll start with that. This morning I left the house early because I had nothing left to do there and I wanted to make sure I got some coffee before starting my work day. Despite the long line-up, I waited. 9 cars in front of me...that's manageable. So I'm sitting in my car, enjoying my music, and a Jimmy drives up beside me and cuts in front of me, and 3 other cars on the other side of the drive through(also in front of me) and takes the Black Honda CRV's spot in line. I sat there and my mouth dropped open...and I sat in shock...eventually my eyes made their way to the lady in the Black CRV and both of us raised our arms in confusion...what on earth was he thinking? I sat in line...fuming...budding in my mind is NOT acceptable. So I devised a plan. I would follow him as he drove away (besides I was early for work anyway) and then I'd call the police and tell them there was an erratic drive in front of me, swerving all over the road and I thought he might be intoxicated. The police would come find him, and pull him over...and that would show him for budding! Then I thought that would be a horrible thing to do...what if I made him late for wherever he was going to... (that's my practical, not so mean side) I decided he should have thought about that before budding in line in front of us. So the plan was set...as I drove up to the window to pick up my order, I followed his vehicle with my eyes...not to let it out of my site...and the Tim Hortons drive through lady told me the man in DEV371 had paid $2 towards my breakfast for cutting me off....he felt bad...oopsie...

All my plans fell through the crack....(likely a good thing)...no erratic driver no phone call to police...and $2 off my breakfast. Hmmm...I kinda feel bad for all the planning and scheming and less than uplifting thoughts I had about that man... but...I guess Budders always pay...or else they should!

So my birthday was fantastic...well not the work part of it...that was quite horrible as I had my first experience with having one of my staff getting fired...and having to deal with that. It was definitely a day of learning, but not something I'd like to learn again soon.

Troy picked me up close to 6pm with a few of my favorite things in tow..."pink" roses, a "milka" chocolate bar...and my cute boy. We drove to Red Lobster where we waited in line for quite some time...(but had fun doing it with games & such)...and then on with the feast. I had my yummy lobster...(my mouth is watering thinking about it)...crab legs and shrimp...it was a feast. It was fun to rip and pry my way through my meal, and I think my man may even like lobster a tiny little bit. After we gourged ourselves...(OH I forgot what my present was!) He created this picture frame back & front picture of us...I can't really explain it, but its super cute, and then he gave me a certificate which he made, for 1 full day, all expenses paid, a trip to West Ed Mall...water park and whever else my little heart desires on Monday. (He took the day off!) So I will look forward to that.

On our way home, we stopped at Blockbuster to get movies and rented some "CSI" another of my favorite things. We watched a couple episodes and..the night ended...

It was a great birthday.

Ending note....I'm not a mean spirited person. I may have evil thoughts...but I've never followed through on them...I mostly thought the calling the police story would be a good story for later...and having lived with myself for 25 years so far, I don't imagine I would have followed through on my plan anyway...I don't even think I have mean thoughts...I'm MOSTLY nice...I think...sorry DEV371. (that's his license plate....I memorized it. :)

Have a super day, Happy Birthday Michael Dick.
